Film i Väst is a regional film fund located in West Sweden, wholly owned by Västra Götalandsregionen (The County of West Sweden), with the goal to establish West Sweden as the foremost film production region in northern Europe. The headquarters are located in Trollhättan, 70km from West Sweden’s largest city, Gothenburg.

During the past 25 years, West Sweden has established a high international standard in terms of the crew, facilities and services available for film production in the region. All elements necessary for film and TV production can be found in West Sweden, from equipment rental, a final mix studio and award winning sound and VFX companies, to more than 450 qualified film crew workers. In addition to West Sweden’s diverse locations, there is also Studio Fares in Trollhättan, the largest purpose-built soundstage in Scandinavia.
